Yes, 200mm is about right.

Just note that in these pics the rails are on the back plate and bearings on the front plate. This is because these machines required deep material thickness's with long...

Hi Toomast,

In support of post #84 (but not an answer !) I also use F360 for CAM and Mach3 for control. I had a similar problem, although the other way around.

One of the last parts I cut out...

I've just made an edit that you might not have seen. Yes, it does look like an offset problem in the CAM settings for the exterior cut. Can you go back to your F360 operations and double-check?

What cutter are you using, and how accurate do you believe it is?

I normally use single-flute cutters, and my experience is that they tend to cut as if they are slightly smaller than their marked...

I thought I would share these with you as part of the Holiday Cheer !

They were in my collection from the 80's 2346623467

Have a good break !

But there is a reason it's called " fogless mist cooler" . If it makes a fog in the workshop and smells, its because the nozzle is not spraying drops and usually is overspraying. i said it many...

cheers Phill will let you know tomorrow

First disconnect the spindle from the vfd and and see if it blows fuses without it connected

Hi,

from quite some time i wanted to share my findings and save fellow DIYers some cash , speaking of Spray Paint Guns.

I have had various Devilbiss, Sagola, 3M and some chinese. from 500 to...

Looks like annealed brass flat bar, you should be able to bend it OK.

Great! Also just FIY this stuff is incredible for molds, as it keeps very good dimension and has very good resollution when fine cut with small bits. Say you need some gears made or you design sth....

See Phantom Post deleter strikes again.!! . . . . . Surely were all adults capable of seeing it's Mates having laugh at each others expense and no one elses.? . . . Cmon stop this needless censorship.

Small update with video to follow:

Controller is mounted in my enclosure and after i spend yesterday all day playing with it, i could say- I like it and i am very happy with it.

Machines moves...

What you say is my dream gantry come true :yahoo:, people should take a note here. That's the perfect beam for simple gantry . Some good 2 x 400w 220Vac servo motors should move it flawlessly /...

Just an update FYI.

As my servos have 9 core and on the Z - 11 core encoder cables it was quite difficult to find proper drag chain cable. It was >3 euro/m for not shielded and 6-8 euro /m for...

I will buy, but unfortunately have to order from the net and wait for them, as i live in a very small tourist town . So from calcs it seems carbide drills would be best. Even faster with parabolic...

Lee something like this http://www.wealdentool.com/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Surface_Trim__3_Wing_250.html but you can get cheaper if you shop around.

My workshop was 5-10C when i poured the epoxy. It took 4h instead of 1h to harden a bit and not be liquid, then 24h to harden more or less, and a couple of days to harden truly. Dont be in a rush.

Yes ok price for 5lt but really you want 209 hardner not 206. you need very slow cure time to allow plenty of time for epoxy to level.
I have used 206 before but you get much better results with 209...
